If your idea of a fun night out involves pounding beats from the DJ cage, potent cocktails with funky names (Slumdog Billionaire, Climate Change), Indian-Asian-Spanish fusion tapas, shooting oysters, and a raucous, multigenerational dance party, then this north-of-I-287 restaurant, open until 2 a.m. on Friday and Saturdays, is your scene.
Neighborhood BarThe Barley House If Mount Pleasant isn’t your neighborhood, you’ll wish it were after sampling The Barley House’s gastropub fare (standards like hot wings mingle happily with on-trend options like poké bowls), craft beer (30 hard-to-find varieties on tap), and a welcoming, unpretentious vibe. Live music and special events like beer-pairing dinners amp up the fun.

Beer FestHarbor Island International Beer Festival It makes sense that the county’s best beer store would also throw its best beer festival. Half Time’s Jason Daniels works his industry connections to pull together this annual showcase of local and international breweries, which brings new releases and rare brews, plus an array of food trucks for those beer-induced munchies.
Annual Winter OutingWestchester Winter Wonderland This seasonal wonderland — 2017 marks its fourth year — keeps on getting better.

Excuse to Play With PuppiesPuppy-Socialization Program at Guiding Eyes for the Blind Before puppies can become guide dogs, they have to spend time brushing up on their social skills. Volunteers in Guiding Eyes’ home-socialization program bring pairs of adorable puppies into their homes for three to five days, to reinforce training and acclimate to new environments. (Volunteers receive training and all supplies for the puppy’s stay.) The hardest part: giving the puppies back.

Musical DirectorStephen Ferri Having already been involved in nearly 200 productions stretching from Broadway to our own humble county, Ferri, at just 26, is already a force to be reckoned with.

Venue for DanceThe Performing Arts Center at Purchase College While The Performing Arts Center hosts virtually every genre of music you can imagine, from classical icons to jazz legends, it is actually their rich and extensive selection of dance that really grabbed our attention. With the world-renowned Bill T. Jones/Artie Zane Dane Company and The Paul Taylor Dance Company both making recent appearances, this is the place to spy some fancy footwork.
Venue for ComedyTarrytown Music Hall While there may be other area comedy clubs to get laughs on the regular, when it comes to big-name comedians, it doesn’t get much better than the Tarrytown Music Hall. You name the comic, and they have probably graced the stage here, from Chris Hardwick and Lisa Lampanelli to Jackie Mason.
